I frowned. What’s wrong with tonight? He stood up, removing the King’s shirt from my shoulders and tossed it aside with a small frown. He then pulled his own shirt off and dropped it to the ground. Moving the blanket back, he lifted me, scooting me over and getting in.
“Why not now?” I asked stubbornly. He raised an eyebrow, and I frowned at him, making him chuckle.
“Because…” he said, pulling me close. I gasped when my head hit the pillow, only to find him straddling me. “When I’ve marked you… I’m going to want a lot more. You weakened the bond when you tried to reject me, though it didn’t sever it. Once I mark you, that bond will be replaced, and when it does… these feelings between us will strengthen, too. Everything will feel tenfold more…” He took my wrists, pinning them to the bed. His hair curtained his face, and the look in his eyes made my stomach flutter.
“In other words, your possessive, dominant side will just become more obvious?” I asked curiously.
“And one who will want to devour you twenty-four-seven,” he murmured. His finger brushed over my lips before he slipped a finger into my mouth. I sucked on it slowly, my core throbbing. His eyes darkened with lust. “It’s a big decision, Kitten, and no matter how much I want to mark you, I need you to be ready because once Ido, there’s no going back.” My heart skipped a beat. He meant to accept him in every way… to go all the way…
“Have a think about that, Kitten.” He kissed me deeply, my hardened nipples grazing his chest through the thin fabric of the cami I was wearing. A soft moan left my lips as he pulled back, breathing hard. His eyes flickered from green to grey. I licked my lips. No, I was ready for that.
“I have. I want you to mark me tomorrow,” I whispered firmly. A gorgeous smile crossed his lips, and he nodded slightly.
“Then, tomorrow night, I’m taking you out,” he murmured, kissing my neck sensually, making my heart thud crazily.
“Sounds perfect. I can’t wait,” I whispered.
“Perfect.”
He pulled me into his arms, and I snuggled into him. I knew that after tomorrow, things were going to change... but I was ready. I kissed his bare chest. The urge to lick his nipple overtook me, and I flicked it lightly before kissing him there. I felt him stiffen, something hard pressing against my thigh. I smiled innocently up at him.
“Down, boy.”
“You’re a tease, Kitten.”
Oh, I was going to enjoy teasing him because no matter how tough and strong he was as an alpha, when it came to me, he was like putty in my hand.
Soon to be Mine
Delsanra
The following day, I really didn’t know how to face Kiara. She probably knew I had found out, and although I didn’t hold it against her, that little sliver of jealousy would remain. Maybe when Rayhan marked me, I’d feel better, or when we actually had sex… just the thought sent heat rushing to my face. But for now, it remained.
Rayhan had left early to deal with some stuff, and I had slept in. However, it was lunchtime; Rayhan had returned and I knew we couldn’t delay going down any longer.
I looked in the mirror; my white hair was just below my shoulder, my blue eyes seemed more vibrant than they used to be, and my skin looked healthier as well, but I was still just me. Nothing special compared to Rayhan or Kiara. The bathroom door opened, and he stepped out, showered and dressed in a black top, grey jeans, and a leather jacket. He even dressed better than I did…
“Hey... what’s with that face, Kitten?” he asked, walking over to me and cupping my face before he looked down at me with concern.
“Nothing much,” I sighed, wrapping my arms around his waist. “When are we leaving?”
“In the afternoon. Kiara wanted to get you ready for our date,” he said. I saw the flicker of worry in his eyes when he mentioned her. I sighed and nodded.
“Okay.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?” he asked, kissing the top of my head. I closed my eyes, inhaling his scent. It calmed me instantly, and I let his warmth soothe the turmoil inside of me.
“Yes, I am, just the usual worries. So, what have you been up to all morning?”
“I went for a run with Uncle, then we sparred, discussed some plans regarding some alpha stuff. Then Irang Lola and Raihana as I needed them to do some stuff for me,” he replied, his gaze dipping to my lips... I didn’t miss how he licked his slowly.
“Sounds good. Who won the sparring match?” I asked with a small smile, I think I know the answer. He raised a perfect eyebrow and kissed me passionately, sending rivets of tingles through me.
“Who do you think, Kitten?” He kissed me softly, and I giggled against his lips.
“I think the oversized burrito.”
“Burrito?”
